California here I come! It's been too too long since I have been in the Golden State where I grew up, but in January I will be visiting the Los Angeles area, showing at the CHA (Craft and Hobby trade show) with our business Rose & Meyer. While I am there I have been invited to teach a really fun workshop at Kaari Meng's "Art of Craft" event at her shop "French General"!

Bob is busy in his workshop making custom boxes to cover with your choice of vintage wallpaper, or maybe some of Kaari's new French General line of papers.

We will be making a shadow box of the lid, where you will assemble a collage with vintage Millinery flowers, buttons, charms, old photo's, and other ephemera. Freeze it in time behind a sheet of glass trimmed with German paper Dresden borders. A box to fill with truffles, or anything your heart desires, just in time for Valentines day.

{hey where are the truffles?}

But check it out, I think it's worth the trip to Cali right in the middle of the bitter winter. Especially coming from Stillwater. I cannot think of anything I would rather do.

{well, except for the chateau in France}

Kaari has a three day weekend in store, topped off with a Soiree with visiting creative Diva; Jo Packham. I can't wait to catch up with Anna Corba, Charlotte Lyons, Pam Garrison, and Molly Meng who are teaching workshops as well as Kaari herself!

We have been so busy getting ready for today that we have been remiss about putting out this blog post!

Today is our Annual Holiday Soiree, where everything in the shop is an additional 20% off! And it is our Grand Opening of our new shop in the Grand Garage! (right next to the Chefs Gallery.)

Hopefully you are already planning on coming downtown Stillwater, but maybe I caught you on a free day and you are nearby. We would hate to have you miss this.

Many of you know that our Main Street shop will be closing right after Christmas, and all of our remaining inventory will be moved to the Grand Garage, for the time being. A new location, is in the process of being remodeled to open in the Spring! Follow us on facebook, register on our website, or keep watching this blog for more information as we have it.
